— The
Egyptian Coil —
 Originally
found in the royal
tombs of ancient Egypt and dating back some 3,000 years, the timeless
Egyptian Coil is still popular in today's jewelry. In this fun half day
workshop we will uncover the secret of making this complicated looking
yet
amazingly simple link with which you will then create a beautiful
bracelet in pure copper. You'll also learn the basic technique of
adding a
patina to give depth and richness to your finished
design.
Recommended
tools to bring to
the workshop:
- Ball
pein or chasing hammer
- Mandrels
of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well
for this)
- Sharpie®
or other indelible pen
Copper
wire for learning and practicing and liver of sulfer for adding a
patina will be provided for you in the class at no charge.
Your
workshop fee
includes a complete written take-home tutorial with
photos.
Basic wire working skills recommended but all skill
levels are welcome.
The
techniques you learn in this fun class can easily be adapted to make
Egyptian Coil necklaces and other fine jewelry accessories in copper,
Sterling
silver and other soft metals!
